A 35 year old man with a loaded pistol in his luggage was arrested at an airport in southern Sweden Tuesday.

A police spokesman at Malmö’s Sturup airport says the weapon was found when the baggage was x-rayed during check-in. The man also reportedly had ammunition, two knives, amphetamines, and other pills in his luggage.

According to the police the 35 year old, who was booked on a flight to Stockholm, does not have a weapon licence.
